Abstract excerpt
The emergence of ceftriaxone resistance in Neisseria gonorrhoeae (FC428 clone) has been linked to the acquisition of mosaic penA alleles, yet the origin of the mosaic penA 60.001 alleles and the contribution of commensal Neisseria as genetic donors remain incompletely resolved. We analysed the penA gene from 29 commensal Neisseria isolates collected from adults in Tokyo between 2018 and 2023 and compared these...
